Zombie Age 3, like its well received predecessors, has you fighting zombies. Here, the combat takes place in various locations scattered around the city. The backstory is pretty standard, a zombie apocalypse took over the world and miraculously you are the only one that survived and so on. Right from the menu, you will begin to get a sense of the comic book feel of the entire game.

Despite how it looks, Zombie Age 3 does provide a sufficient challenge. Completing each level is deeply satisfying as you are airlifted by a helicopter at the end of your journey. Why did they not come earlier, you might ask. Readers have wondered the same thing about Gandalf’s eagles.While we may never know about the eagles (We do know. They would have been stopped by the flying creatures of Mordor), you would not want to miss out on the zombie-killing action in the game now, would you?

The graphics are bright with a cartoony feel and do take the edge off any horror you might have expected. There is only a faint soundtrack which highlights the hollow rasping of zombies as they shuffle on unsteady legs towards you. There are various missions to complete, like protecting a hostage (who stupidly but effectively keeps bonking the zombie’s heads with a wooden sword) or simply killing a certain number of one type of zombie. There is also the cooperative mode where your friends can join in the zombie killing action.

A minor flaw is that the characters are 2D and you can only shoot zombies if you are on the same plane. Because of the skewed perspective, this is harder than it sounds, especially with zombies popping up from everywhere. However, once you overcome this, Zombie Age 3 is one of the best zombie shooters built for mobile devices.
